Don't know where you are based (your profile says "London") but if you fancy a flight from North London you're welcome to come along with me for free when I am not doing anything more specific. Don't know if it'll help much, though at least you can practise flying straight and level for free. I do have an autopilot but it isn't voice activated.
Put another way, if you decide to give it all up at least you can get airborne and if you decide to keep going I can at least show you an easy way to get Notams...
